Not that I have ever heard of. They are actually supposed to make you tired. They always do for me when I first start taking them, but it wears out. But, I take some of that back, back in the early 2000's when I was on OxyContin, thay definately kept me awake! I don't think they make those anymore.
And Oxycodone is stronger than Hydrocodone.
